Researchers; 3x more FB posts doubt Bucha allegations that those that don't.

What is it that causes otherwise rational people to believe what they are told with questioning ? Is it our education system ?

You left out the last part of the Guardian report, moon:

< Francesca Visser, an analyst at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, said: “The findings show us that the challenges in confronting pro-Kremlin narratives and disinformation emanate from a wider set of actors than just Russian state media.

“Despite the efforts of independent factcheckers and journalists on the ground who debunked many of the false narratives spread by sources tied to the Russian state, these narratives managed to gain traction among a wide audience.

“It’s concerning that in the aftermath of the massacre, the most shared posts on Facebook are those casting doubt on the veracity of the images. It’s also concerning that posts coming from platforms and bloggers known for spreading false and misleading narratives are outperforming verified information.” >

Now why did you leave that out?

Now why did you leave that out?

Why would you believe that the same forces are not magnifying the pro-Ukrainian narrative ?

Of course they are. The two cancel each other out and what remains is...........................posts doubting the Ukrainian narrative are more numerous.
Hence the thread.
You chose to ignore that.

I didn't say what I believe, moon. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue are the researchers who produced the analysis that YOU cited. You just chose to leave out their conclusions.

They chose to leave out my conclusions- just as you'd like to do. remove their conclusions and we are left with the results of the analysis- doubts about the Ukrainian version of events are most numerous.

Square One, I believe,

Your conclusions are nonsense, moon. It isn’t even true that “3x more FB posts doubt Bucha allegations than those that don't” (per the OP).

Read the article again:

< Among the most popular posts mentioning Bucha, the average number of shares was three times higher for posts casting doubt on alleged war crimes compared with those which did not. >

That’s three times more SHARES. The only conclusion I can draw from that is that somebody has been busy.

A share equals a post. You are a poor loser.
